Comfort Zone

[Zoran]

Just wanted to know what fighting range people here are most comfortable.

Mine is the elbow and knee range. I like getting in close and personal. Get me in that "phone booth".

 

[Zoran]

Oh, one more thing. Sorry I didn't add the Colt 45 range.

 

[KumaSan]

I love the clinch, so I guess that's one for elbow and knee range. Let's not forget the headbutts either!

 

[Yari]

I would have to say punch AND elbow/knee. But it depends on the oppenent.

im gonna go with yari on this one,punching, elbow,knee,MAYBE a big, warm hug and a nice headbutt. but i was a boxer in the navy, and with what i know from Wing Chun, punching is my " comfy chair"...............respects.

 

[fist of fury]

Punching of course since my style deals with close range fighting.

 

[KoshoBob]

We work on dealing mostly with the punch since that is what you most likely will see on the street.

I say I am comfortable in punching range, although I'm not uncomfortable in kicking or elbow and knee range. I want to be comfortable in all ranges eventually, but I would say right now that is my strength.

For me, it depends on the situation. Outside/nice weather/good surfice? Kicking range. Indoors (bars), punching/elbow/knee range. Outside bad weather (snow, ect), punching range. I wouldn't even attempt to kick in these conditions ....eeeekkkk.

The "F" range, because either way, you're gonna have fun and someone is gonna get %$#@ed!

For fighting, my comfort zone is definately knee elbow headbutt range...when I feel threatened I can use that range the best to save my butt. If I'm sparring then I definately like kicking and boxing range.

I perfer the elbow and knee range because it sets up for me the looping stomp kicks and conturing knee-strike stomp combinations! Sincerely, In Humility; Chiduce!

 

[Klondike93]

A few years ago I would have said kicking range, but since I got back into kenpo I'm more at ease in the punching and elbow/knees range.

[Ty K. Doe]

Since I'm not a big fan of pain (yeah, I'm a wuss), I like to keep 'em as far from me as possible. Because my legs are longer than most peoples arms kicking range is most comfortable for me.

 

[Klondike93]

Pain is fear leaving the body........... slowly

(saw the quote on a t-shirt of a guy I was sparring, thought it was cool)

i tend to like the kicking range. although i can use my hands in close combat too.

somewhere inbetween kicking and punching is good for me. not in too close, but not so far out of range.
